Authentic, candid photography for sweet souls who want to remember the feeling, not just how it looked.
TORONTO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER capturing REAL love & REAL life
I believe your photos should be a reflection of the real, honest, sometimes imperfect moments that make your love story unique. Yes, we’ll capture the gorgeous details and stunning portraits you've dreamed of, but the magic is in the moments you didn’t even see coming—the deep breaths before walking down the aisle, the way your partner looks at you when you’re not watching, the happy tears that fall when you least expect them. That’s the beauty of real love, and that’s exactly what I aim to document.
Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, I’d love to be the Toronto photographer who captures your day as it truly unfolds.
What if we left room for real love to make its own magic?
Imagine if, instead of planning an album’s worth of “standard” photos, we trusted that simply existing in the beautifully imperfect space of a wedding day was enough.
CAPTURING Modern Love That Feels AGELESS

proud to have been featured in:
the jvs experience
The way your hands find each other without thinking. The way your partner’s breath catches when they see you for the first time. The way the room feels right before you say I do.
Weddings aren’t about performing for the camera, and your photos shouldn’t feel like a checklist. They should feel like you. Messy, emotional, breathtakingly real. The kind of images that bring you back to the feeling, not just the moment.
So let’s toss out the idea of “perfect.” Let’s focus on honest, deeply felt, beautifully imperfect—because that’s where the real magic happens.
I’m not here to stage a love story—I’m here to document yours as it really is.
YOUR LOVE STORY, EXACTLY AS IT HAPPENED
Photography has always been more than just images to me—it’s about holding onto the moments that matter most. The raw, unfiltered bits of life that tell our stories.
My approach is candid, vibey, and unposed whenever possible (don’t worry, I still gently guide your portraits when needed). I believe every emotion—joy, laughter, quiet tears, the big and small—is deeply beautiful and deserves to be remembered.
As your wedding photographer, my job isn’t to stage your love—it’s to witness it, document it, and let it shine in its most authentic form. Because at the end of the day, these aren’t just wedding photos. They’re the moments that will bring you back to exactly how it all felt.
I’m so glad you’re here—I can’t wait to get to know you!

Honest & heartfelt photography for weddings in Toronto
While weddings are at the heart of what I do, love doesn’t begin or end at “I do.” Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, or the beautifully chaotic love of family, I’m here to document every season of connection in a way that feels true to you.
Life moves fast, but photos let us hold onto the love, laughter, and chaos of right now. Whether it's a quiet moment or a full-on family adventure, I’ll capture your story as it is—real, imperfect, and full of heart.
Spending time with you and your loved ones never gets old.
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
—it’s the in-between moments, too. Whether it’s an engagement, anniversary, or just because, your session will feel effortless, fun, and true to you. Let’s create something real and beautiful together.
Your love story is more than just the big milestones-
COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHY
I take a documentary-style approach to capture every moment, from elegant portraits to the quiet, unexpected in-betweens. Whether you're celebrating in the GTA, the countryside, or eloping somewhere wildly romantic, I can’t wait to tell your story.
Your wedding isn’t just about looking beautiful—it’s about feeling it.

She is such a fun and relaxed person, and fit right in with our wedding party and family. My husband Steven and I were totally blown away by our wedding pictures. There are soo many good shots...it's impossible for us to pick a favourite. We also loved that Jen not only sent a few sneak peak pictures a few days after the wedding but also spent the time to put together a slide show while the rest of our photos loaded. She updated us every step of the way so we were never left wondering when we would actually receive the pictures from our special day. We would highly recommend Jen to anyone looking to have a special moment in their life captured!
Jen couldn't have captured our wedding day more perfectly.

When searching for a photographer to capture our big day we were overwhelmed, so many great options. However, we kept coming back to one profile specifically and that was Jen. Once we connected there were no questions, she was our person! Jen is incredible, she is everything you want in a photographer (and more) with a bubbly personality, kind, and warm putting you at total ease. She cares about her clients and the quality of work and captures truly the most amazing moments. If you're looking to hire a photographer, you won't find anyone better.
Jen is hands down THE BEST in the business.

We had originally scheduled our wedding for 2020 but when COVID hit we postponed for a year. Throughout all the twists & turns when it came to constantly changing rules and regulations, Jen was a total pro in her approach to making sure we were aware of the situation and what, realistically, we could expect for our wedding. She was fantastic to chat with throughout the entire process. We had our eye on Jen early on in our engagement and we are extremely happy we ended up deciding to go with her. She is fantastic behind the camera and is an absolute joy to work with. We would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional photography skills, a passion for weddings, and a bubbly and fun personality.
Jennifer is incredible, simply put.
I believe wedding photography should capture not only the gorgeous details and beautiful portraits you've dreamed of, but also the hundreds of little glances, tears, and HEART that you didn't see coming. I can't wait to capture all of it with you!
You're here because real, honest, sometimes imperfect moments mean the world to you.

Honestly, me too.
There’s something about film that digital just can’t replicate. The soft grain, the richness in color, the way light is captured—it adds an editorial, nostalgic feel that makes every frame feel like an heirloom.
While digital allows me to adapt quickly and document every moment as it unfolds, film slows the process down, making each shot intentional. That mix of speed and artistry is why I incorporate film into many of my collections, blending the best of both worlds to create a gallery that feels authentic, textured, and timeless.
